lyrics

Behind closed curtains

Frida’s back in town
From captivity in Russia
A nurse on battleground
Between young men brutalized
Not once, not once did she speak of the things she endured
60 years of hidden tears and gone

It’s our fatal tradition
Don’t let go
Keep the curtains closed
Don’t embarrass the people around you
Go on

Wilhelmine raised her youngest son alone
When she delivered him
Both husband and firstborn were gone
Not once, not once did they see each other weeping
Underneath the portraits on the wall
